Abstract

Manganese ferrite (MnFe₂O₄) and calcium-doped manganese ferrite (Ca-MnFe₂O₄) were synthesized, characterized, and tested for oxidation of hydrocarbons (CH) in a self-designed gas blow rotating (GBR) reactor. The uniformly sized and thermally stable MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles (molar ratio, 1/284.5) showed a reasonable catalytic activity (productivity: 366.17 mmolg⁻¹h⁻¹) with 60% selectivity at 80 °C, which was further enhanced by calcium doping (productivity: 379.38 mmolg⁻¹h⁻¹). The suspicious behavior of Ca-MnFe₂O₄ was disclosed experimentally and theoretically as well.
